What do you think? I have fixed the arm a bit since this quick photo. The only thing that is not working for me and I don't know how to fix is the upper showder. Ideas?
Overall I think she is pretty much done. I am thinking of trying eBay first before I list it on Etsy. Comments, opinions, suggestions are most welcome

Progress
Here is an update from today's work. I tried using the grid but it was very frustrating so I gave up. It was useful to get the original sketch in but not for painting. I need more freedom when I paint.
Hopefully this painting will be done by tomorrow.
I have to go through my supplies again and organize. I am probably going to have another PaperPack in the shop ;) When we finally step on our feet financially I would love to get some kind of furniture that would be able to organize my piles and bins of supplies.
And I have to make another little set of recycled envelopes, they are popular.
I wonder how much attention I will be able to give to art once I start working.
The one job, offers to pay tuition up to $2,500 a year. This means part time MBA here I come. I probably can't get in this year but if I can still use that money than I wonder if I can put it towards the Continuing education courses I wanted to take in Fashion,,,hmmmm that would have nothing to do with Finance.

What a day...
It's already 5pm wow wow wow
well it doesn't help that I woke up at 11:30 am today.
Let me start with the best news.... I have found the big big job and they want me, yeyeyeyee You are reading the journal of an official Financial Analyst for a large multi national company
Actually I am waiting to hear from another company on Tuesday before I can say yes to the first one, but they want me and they are waiting. If I accept I will be starting on Thursday!!!!!!!!!! with a very very good salary and 100% benefits.
The picture on the side is of the new pet portrait that I am working on. Looks nothing like the cutest puppy that I am painting but it's just a start to get the lines ready and to show it the customer. [edit: I have now re-sketched it and this is the new version]
After close to 3 weeks of no sales. I had this pup and an order on Wednesday, the next day another order ....
Today after looking through my favorite sellers I found that one was 'destashing' some lovely papers and contacted her to trade. She agreed, I have to say that my Lip Balm is a great tool for trading. A little later someone else contacted me for a trade. This time for my destashing paper pack and of course Strawberry lip balm
Busy busy day. Also there is a customer interested in my Self Image prints, Only he wants it bigger and well I can't make it bigger because the original is small.
Amy, please give me a call early this week, I need to give you back your things from the craft show.
yey Happy Saturday!

"Self Reflection 2"
Today was an interesting day. We didn't sleep well last night. One we are both sick. Mad cold is racing through us. And two I am still thinking over the sadness of yesterday.
In my headachy state, I find that my best work comes from moments like this. My hand itched to get close to this canvas and here are the results.
"Self Reflection 2"
12x12 inches
Acrylic on Canvas
Both painting are hanging side by side now in what is turning to be my one wall gallery in my bedroom. Looking really well if I can say so myself. I knew that I wanted to have 3 of these paintings, but today seeing them the wall, I started thinking about how they will look in a gallery. If they were to go in a gallery they will need to fill a wall. Alone these 3 paintings will not be able to hold an entire wall and will also clash with my other work. An idea was born! 2 or 3 larger paintings in the same style but full body will complete this series. Nobody likes being sick but the best ideas come from times like this.
